Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care M3176

Fun, meal time space saver – This is virtually the same as the regular Fisher Price Healthy care booster except for the fact it is the cute Rainforest design and comes with a toy tray that fits onto the trays. I love the Fisher Price Rainforest range and the Healthy care seats are a great dinner time space saver. They fit comfortably onto chairs and secure well. You can use… Read more ·  2

the tray or just push the chair in at the table.

We didn't use the toy tray very much, normally we would end up just finding this in the toy box anyway. It occasionally kept our son entertained at the table, but most it wouldn't be the thing that would convince me to buy it. The chair is good in itself without necessarily needing the toy attachment.

I find the trays on these booster seats difficult to slide onto the seat sometimes, it's not a major issue but it can be fiddly.

These seats are ideal for older babies and Toddlers and you could easily use one until the child is at least 3, depending on their size. My son is 2 1/2 and he still uses his comfortably.

I recommend these seats if you are limited to space and find a regular high chair too bulky and space consuming. Practical, space saving, fun design, easy to travel with, secure.

Cute, easy to clean, space saving booster – Owned this since Sept 2008 and it has seen alot of use. I store the tray on the table and push the booster chair in so it fits under the dining table. Its a wonderful space saver and its so easy to clean. Since I've owned it so long the stickers have worn off and I scrubbed off the residue. Its doesn't look weird without the stickers… Read more

thankfully. The attachments are extremely sturdy and I would recommend using a cleaning brush to scrub it out the 'play' tray.

I know my nephew can push the tray off although he is surprisingly strong for his age. My children have never managed to to do this though so I would say the tray attaches easily and firmly to the chair. No fiddly attachments for either the tray connection or chair connection.

Be sure to remove it from the chair every now and then and wipe down the seat of the chair. Sometimes crumbs have collected under the booster because I have a tiny gap between the booster & our wooden dining chairs. Value for money, space saving, cute, easy to clean

Love it ! Very easy to clean, – We brought this chair, for a temporary chair ( as we were going to move soon) ! We liked that it was portable , and we could easily take it in car, when we moved interstate! 2 yrs later we are still using it, as our everyday chair! we love it so much! It is compact, portable, safe and easy to clean! When the kids are little the toys keep them… Read more

entertained. It ties securely on chair! Safes space! And most importantly easy to wipe clean! I also love that we can use it as a booster at the table! What's not to love about this chair! We are currently looking at a second one for our second child! Inexpensive, easy clean, portable, safe

Great for the grandparents – After using one of the original ones at our friends every time we visited, we bought one of these to keep at the grandparents for all the grandkids. They could easily store it away without it taking up much space, and it was easily set up when needed. We got this one with the toy so they would have something to play with while we were just sitting… Read more

around the table chatting. Just recently it wasn't getting used there much so we brought it home and OMG I wish I'd bought one of these 3 years ago instead of a high chair, it takes up no space, no more tripping over a bulky high chair and soo easy to clean. My 18mo uses it with the tray, and my 3.5yo uses it as a booster at the table. Compact, can use it as a stand alone chair with the tray, or as a booster at the table, toys keep little ones occupied when they're not eating.

A perfect seat for bubby to feel apart of the family at dinner – adjustable & portable booster seat for dining table to make bubby apart of any meal without the fuss of high chairs. inexpensive, light,portable,adjustable

Multiple uses and saves space – We use our booster seat as our only high chair and when we are out, we just bring it along. It's one of the best items I've bought for my baby. When bub was becoming mobile, I placed the seat on the floor and strapped bub into the seat when I had to prepare hot food or shower. She loved it - as long as I didnt take too long! It has so many… Read more

more uses

- besides saving space, being a portaseat and high chair, we use it for:

- picnics and bub has a seat on the floor

- Bub loves it. In her grandparents' home, there is the standard high chair and Bub hates it. However, when we use her portaseat, she's happy and also happy to have the tray put in front of her (she screams when the normal high chair tray is put over her). I think with this seat, she feels as if she's being like mummy and daddy sitting on adult seats.

- Same issue at restaurants - my baby hates the restaurant's high chair but she's ok with her own. It's compact to fold up and bring along (minus the toy tray) plus we know it's clean, so no problems with it whatsoever.

The toy tray isnt much entertainment. Bub used to pull at the toys until the plastic shows stress marks (turns white in stress areas), so we've removed it very early on. It's also bulky to carry out. It's otherwise ok when I use it as a 10 minute babysitter in the shower.

I'd highly recommend this to anyone. My tip: this is the only chair you'd need for home and going out. The normal high chair cannot be placed at floor level, so it's less safe to use a normal high chair as a baby sitter while you shower, vacuum, cook, etc... Can be placed on floor - great for picnics, babysitter in shower, portaseat, normal high chair, saves space The toy tray is not much use.

The original "Fisher-Price Healthy Care" booster is better – I bought the original "Fisher-Price Healthy Care" booster first, then this one as a spare for my 2nd baby (when I was still pregnant). The toy is pretty basic and not much of a value add. The tray insert you get with the original booster is more useful. I found the straps on this one harder to adjust, the buckles don't slide on the "belt… Read more

fabric" as well. I find myself always struggling with the buckle when we take the booster out of the house. While my original booster is easy to adjust with one hand.

It's generally a good booster seat, but as I've already said - I like the original blue & green "Fisher-Price Healthy Care" booster seat better.

My fave features:

* adjustable tray - can bring it right up to bubs tummy to help catch falling food

* adjustable height - easy to fit under any table

* lots of buckles to attach chair securely to seats

* 3-point buckle stops kids from escaping :-)

* fairly easy clean

Cons:

* Not as good as the original design :-) Sturdy, Appears to be comfy, Adjustable tray, Good price, Easy clean Toy is a bit boring (I don't know what to do with it now my youngest is 2, I don't think I could give it away)

Excellent – What a great product. I wish I bought this earlier as it would have saved me heaps of time in cleaning the high chair we had in storage. I initially purchased this chair to store in my car for those days I need to feed bub when I'm out visiting family & friends. I loved it so much that I ended up purchasing another one & using it in our house… Read more

instead of the high chair! I even recommended this seat to my family & friends. It is so much easier to clean as bub fits in perfectly with tray butting up against her so that barely any food drops between her & the tray. Less cleaning makes a happy mummy! So easy to clean.

Portable & light.

Space saver.

Good – This is a great alternative to a regular high chair. The baby loves playing with the toy tray before and after her meals. The chair is easy to clean and the tray can go in the dishwasher. Overall a great purchase. This booster seat is great as it takes up less space than a regular highchair. I liked the idea of the playtray that snaps into… Read more

place which is the main reason I purchased it. Plus I wanted a highchair that I could take with us when we travel. Sometimes the meal tray can be a little difficult to remove especially the end of the harness strap gets caught accidentally under it.

Excellent – Very safe as the harness and the tray holds baby tightly in place (tray can be adjusted aswell as the harness as the baby grows). I recieved two of these booster type seats as gifts for my sons christening when he was 7mo and as they are such a fantastic useful item, instead of taking one back i took to my parents house for when bub needs to eat… Read more

there. We have now packed up our bulky high chair which was hard to clean and took up extra space in the kitchen. This booster seat is a must have item for baby. Versatile and fits onto dining chairs easily, aswell as tucking into table when not in use (without tray). Great compact design. Easy to wipe clean with no fuss. Makes bub feel happy to eat at the table with the grown ups. Great fun jungle activity board really captivates baby and is useful to help feeding, or for use when not feeding to occupy bub. The back rest looks a little uncomfortable as the hard top edge hits the bottom of baby's head.

Excellent – I put her in there at 5 months, when she was not yet able to sit by herself. But the tray props her up and even though she had a lot of room on either side, she would fall to one side or the other and she learnt to pull herself up to sitting upright again. Which is fun to watch her learn. This chair is a must buy if you want to eat dinner as a… Read more

family. I hadn't eaten a meal with hubby together at the table for 5 months and this chair was just amazing. My baby took to it straight away, the toys are really good, keeps my baby amused while we ate dinner. At 7 months old, my baby is now strong enough to lift the toys section off the tray, so it probably won't be long till she throws it onto the floor.

Excellent – I have use this chair at the dining table and even by itself on the floor. It is very compact and easy to bring along. We have actually bought 2 of these and put one at grandma's. Definitely a God sent! Nothing so far

Good – What a great item for parent sanity when out and about. We got ours on safe from target and we couldn't be happier with our purchase. I would highly recommend this item to anyone. This booster seat is an excellent way to keep your child safe and happy whilst your out. Its easy to keep clean and always keeps our child entertained espcially when we… Read more

are out at a restraunt or cafe. The activities keep your child amused and quiet rather than them being bored and wanting to run around the cafe. Its 3 point harness holds them safely in place and you can also anchor this item to any chair for added safety. Its hard to take the items off the tray table for storage so we tended to leave it set up.

Excellent – This is super fantastic, i took this camping with us for bubs. could sit it on the floor or any chair to feed her. Dont have to put the straps on cos the table itself holds the baby in (but best to use safety yeah!) The toys keep wrigling prone baby still so food actually goes in the mouth and not spplattered everywhere. If food does drop it will… Read more

go on toys etc, but its super easy to clean. the toys isn't but the tray is dishwashable. What a fantastic alternative high chair for restaurants if your brave enough!! Compact, yet enough room, light and easy to take along and put together NOTHING, absolutly love it

Excellent – I purchased this portable highchair because it is compact and portable, very easy to clean (no gaps to get food caught in), three point harness and it has a toy tray to entertain baby. I looked around and compared all the other brands but couldn't find anything that had all the pros that this highchair had. The bonus was I was lucky to get it on… Read more

sale and not pay full price. Very happy with this product, would definately reccommend it to others. Small and portable, easy to set up, easy to clean, toy tray to entertain baby while organising the meal, three point harness, attaches to almost all chairs. Price.

Good – We bought this when it was on special and I'm not sure its worth the RRP of about $90. My daughter loves playing with the toys while she's waiting for dinner to be served and because of the adjustable height, we take off the tray and she gets to use "the big table" like we do. Clean up is so quick and easy - I like the portability too. Easy to clean, fully adjustable, comes with toys. cost

Excellent – This is a great purchase if you little one won't sit in a high chair. my little one loves this as he is able to feel like he is part of everything sitting at the dinner table with us easy to clean, durable, take anywhere

Excellent – Well worth the $$$ and very snazzy to look at as well, compared to some of the other ugly brands out there. Definitely a must if you have an active toddler and are sick of cleaning a mucky high chair! I got our booster seat half price in a baby sale and I do not know what I would have done without it. Our 21 month old boy is an ABSOLUTE TERROR… Read more

and there is no way he would have fit or wanted to sit in his high chair at this age!! We don't use the toys as he is a bit too old for them, he sits up at the table with us and is quite happy to climb up and be strapped into his seat each night for dinner. The straps around the chair are very secure and there is no way it would fall down ever. Our 6 year old daughter fits into this booster seat as well, so we know that we will get a lot of use out of it. Grubby little hands get in all the grooves, seatbelt gets a bit grubby - but this would happen with any brand I suppose!

Excellent – Fantastic chair - we bought it instead of a highchair and are glad we did (great value on special at $45). I thought the toy was unnecessary - but it turned out to be great, at 6 months it kept her really distracted while I got food ready or cleaned up after - less so now she's almost 1. We leave it assembled all of the time but have… Read more

occasionally taken it off to go to a restaurant or friends house - as long as you have your car there it's VERY handy. Probably not portable enough for overseas travel or walking places.

Sister in law has one and recommended it to us - it's lasted her well too. Saves buying a separate highchair (we live in a small place), easy to clean, easy to pack up and make portable, secure, toy buys distraction time! One part of the toy keeps coming off (no biggy - just gets chucked on the floor within 5 mins).

Bad – This chair looks so good and sturdy, however I was very disappointed & shocked that one of the safety belts stitching broke and the belt came off the chair when my baby was still in it. This posses great danger for my baby who could have easily fell off the chair! Other than that I find the tray difficult to snap on or off, the best point is that… Read more

the material is very durable, non stick & easy to wipe off. toy tray for entertaining baby, easy to clean, one of the safety straps came off just after afew uses, I found the tray abit difficult to snap on or off.

Excellent – This is a great booster seat that allows our son to feel very much a part of the family and enjoy meals right at the dinner table along with everybody else... tray good for snack times and toy great for keeping him entertained while waiting for food! Stores easily, easy to keep clean, compact/lightweight, great for travelling.

Excellent – Absolutely wonderful little booster chair. It's a little bulky to take with you, but it's just brilliant to be able to attach it to a normal chair and not have to arrange a high chair. It also brings your child much closer to your height which means they feel like they're really a part of the table. I bought this because I have two young… Read more

children and the oldest one needed to make room for the youngest, but I'm so glad I bought it, so I'm going to be buying a second one for my youngest as soon as she's around 1. The tray is excellent, really easy to take off and clean, and the chair itself is also very simple to clean, the material seems to stop anything sticking to it, and just needs a wipe down. I love this chair and got it for only $50, I can't praise it highly enough! Easy to clean, easy to fold up and take with you A little difficult to tighten the straps underneath
